Synopsis
Why did we write this book? There are plenty of books on financial management, so what is different about this one? Good question. This book is as simple and as straight to the point as possible. It uses a practical, down- to-earth approach, and it is concise. All of the essentials are cov-ered, in an easy-to understand style, with lots of examples and a summary at the end of each chapter. Further, this book bases all finance calculations on Microsoft Excel, which is the planet’s best number cruncher, used by financial professionals worldwide. This book has everything you need. That’s why we wrote this book.
